Summer Chef’s Dinner photos

Vinegar cured anchovies and nectarine-basil tartare with sherry and hazelnuts on grilled baguette slices.
The Summer 2016 Chef’s Dinner at Café Presse was last Tuesday and we had a great time!
The theme for the dinner was “Summer in the Pays Basque” and the menu took its inspiration from the recent trip to the French Basque countries taken by our chef de cuisine Patrick MacWhorter.
Keep your eye on Café Presse’s website or this blog for info about the next Chef’s Dinner, coming in November 2016. And if you would like to be on our mailing list for events like this, please sign up for monthly newsletter here.
